Bloom Your Mind

We all think and talk about what we’ll do someday, but what if that someday could start right now? If there’s a change you want to make in yourself, in your life, or an idea that you have that you want to make real … this podcast is for you. After 20 years leading and coaching innovators, Certified Coach Marie McDonald is breaking down how great change-makers think so you can do what they do and take your ideas out of your head and into the world where they belong. We’ll teach you how to stop trying to get other people to like you and your ideas, and how to be your own biggest fan instead. You’ll learn how to ditch the drama and have fun with failure, to stop taking things personally, and to get out of anxiety and into decisive action when you don’t even know how or what you’re doing yet. Marie has used this work to go from bar tender to Vice President, to create the family of her dreams, and to start a multiple six-figure business from scratch within eight months. Whether you want to change a relationship, a habit, write a book or start a movement, it starts here on The Bloom Your Mind Podcast.

Ep 113: The Art of Self Lovin'

February 07, 2025 • Marie McDonald

Bekah Salazar and Marie McDonald are lifetime sister-friends. We are also all about becoming EXPERTS at loving ourselves so that we can give our best to the world...and even more importantly than that, because we deserve it.

And so do you.

We see the people around us giving everything to families and work and communities, and we want to help our people to slow down; say no to everyone else a little more, and say YES to ourselves.

Together, we created the Art of Self-Lovin’ and you’re going to hear all about it in this episode. This content is a sneak peak at an all-day in-person workshop and online course available through the Bloom Coach website.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Self Lovin' on the inside:

Learn how to examine your automatic thoughts about yourself, where they come from, and the feeling states they generate in your body.
Hear examples of how to shift those thoughts into beliefs that create a more fulfilling life.
Learn two tools for generating lists of self love attributes and desires that are in line with your intuition and your body wisdom.
Understand how to honor the finite resource of your time and love by choosing to put your energy into people, communities and projects that reciprocate and fill your cup.

Self Lovin' on the outside:

Hear a nod to the holy trio of self lovin’: water, sleep and movement.
Understand how style as a form of self expression is a great way to practice self lovin’.
Be introduced to skin care rituals as a form of meditation, completing the stress cycle, and daily self lovin’ on the largest organ in the body.
How dietary choices that support gut health and protecting the microbiome protect our overall health.

Self Lovin’ is an art.

Let’s get really good at practicing it.
